Our Take

Review:

This collection of Hoagy Carmichael's essential works is like a musical time machine transporting you back to the days when jazz was the soundtrack of smoky speakeasies and wild parties.

Known for his smooth, suave vocals and witty, whimsical lyrics, Carmichael's music effortlessly blends the sophistication of the jazz age with the down-to-earth charm of Americana.

Tracks like "Stardust" and "Georgia on My Mind" showcase Carmichael's talent for crafting timeless melodies that stick in your head long after the music has stopped.

But don't be fooled by the laid-back vibe of his songs - hidden beneath the jazzy arrangements are layers of complexity and depth that reveal themselves with each listen.

The Essential Collection does a commendable job of curating Carmichael's vast discography, highlighting both his classic hits and lesser-known gems.

Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or a casual music listener, this album is sure to delight your ears and transport you to a bygone era of cool sophistication and carefree charm.

So grab a cocktail, put on your best fedora, and let Hoagy Carmichael serenade you with his timeless tunes. With The Essential Collection, you're guaranteed a musical experience that's smooth, sophisticated, and undeniably charming. Cheers to that!

About the artist

Hoagy Carmichael

Hoagy Carmichael – the man, the myth, the legend. Or at least, that's what his press release would have you believe. The indie world's favourite jazz crooner, Hoagy has been plucking his way into our hearts since the Roaring Twenties. With a voice as smooth as buttered rum and a piano style that could charm the pants off a penguin, it's no wonder he's still making waves in the music scene today. Born in Bloomington, Indiana, in 1899 (no, that's not a typo), Hoagy has been knocking around the industry for longer than most of us have been alive. From his early days tickling the ivories in smoky speakeasies to his rise to fame as the king of cool jazz, he's seen it all. And trust me, he's got the stories to prove it. But don't let his age fool you – Hoagy's still got more energy than a hyperactive toddler on a sugar high. His live shows are legendary, with his trademark fedora and twinkle in his eye winning over audiences from New York to New Orleans. And let's not forget his songwriting chops – with classics like "Stardust" and "Georgia on My Mind" under his belt, he's a one-man hit factory. So whether you're a hardcore fan or a casual listener, Hoagy Carmichael is a name you need to know. Just don't expect him to slow down any time soon – this old-timer is here to stay, and he's as fresh and funky as ever.
